Description

Modern society owes much to a mystical technology known as “orbal energy.” Fifty years ago, during what’s come to be known as the “Orbal Revolution,” the invention of this technology and the “orbments” developed from it led to a period of rapid human advancement, birthing innovations of all shapes and sizes -- not the least of which was the airliner, or “orbalship” industry. Although the positive impact of this revolution is obvious, every coin has a flipside; for every beneficial device developed with these new materials, so too were advanced weapons and other implements of war. Thus, the land became mired with turmoil, and remains in such a state even now.

Enter, the bracers: an organization established to serve as police and intermediaries alike, holding above all else the peace and safety of the lands under their jurisdiction. Whenever a citizen is in need of assistance, he or she may place a request at the local Bracer Guild -- and be it monster extermination, crime prevention or even peace talks among warring nations, the bracers will do whatever they can to resolve the matter cleanly and efficiently.

Some matters require a gentler touch than others, however. When an orbalship transporting a legendary "S-rank" bracer named Cassius Bright suddenly goes missing, said bracer's daughter, Estelle, and adoptive son, Joshua, must join forces in search of him across the entire Kingdom of Liberl.

And what they find along the way could change both of their lives forever...

Hailed as one of the largest, longest and most meticulously detailed turn-based JRPG series of all time, this first chapter in the ongoing Trails saga sets the stage for what's quickly become Ys developer Nihon Falcom's most popular and best-selling franchise in their entire 30+ year history. Introducing people, places, ideas, events and lore that rival in complexity those of even the most highly-regarded fantasy epics in literature, the care and attention given to each and every NPC, location and historical in-game event is what sets The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky apart from its contemporaries.

Come join Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard, Olivier and the rest of the cast as they uncover the secret underbelly of Liberl in their first 50+ hour masterpiece, and see what Japanese gamers have been raving about for over ten years.

About The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is a turn-based RPG developed by Nihon Falcom and published in the West by XSEED Games. Originally released in Japan for Windows in 2004, the game was later ported to the PlayStation Portable in 2006. XSEED acquired the Western rights and released the PC version on Steam on July 29, 2014, after a localization effort spanning years due to the size of the script, which contains approximately 1.5 million Japanese characters.

The game is the first entry in the Trails series, itself part of the broader Legend of Heroes franchise. It is set in the Liberl Kingdom on the continent of Zemuria and follows Estelle Bright, a spirited young woman, and her adopted brother Joshua as they begin their training as junior Bracers, a peacekeeping guild dedicated to helping ordinary citizens. What begins as a series of routine missions to prove their worth gradually unravels into a conspiracy that threatens the stability of the entire kingdom.

Trails in the Sky is built on exceptional attention to world-building detail. Every NPC in every town has their own name, history, and relationships with other characters, and their dialogue updates throughout the game to reflect events that have occurred. The same level of care extends to the world's history, political structure, and lore, which are built out through item descriptions, books found in the world, and incidental conversations rather than exposition dumps.

Combat is turn-based, using a time-based action bar that determines turn order based on character speed and the actions taken. Characters equip Orbments, slotted devices powered by elemental Quartz that determine which Arts, the game's magic system, a character can cast. Crafts are character-specific abilities tied to each fighter's unique skills and personality. The system allows for substantial customization of how each character develops over the course of the game.

The full playthrough spans over 50 hours for the main story alone. The game ends on a cliffhanger that sets up its direct sequel, Trails in the Sky SC. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky holds a Metacritic score of 85 and a Very Positive rating on Steam.
